Re: Operational Awards, CONvergence 2017
GRYPHON FLEET ORDER 1711-D, 20NOV2017

Effective 20 November 2017, by my authority as Commanding Officer 2nd Fleet, I announce the following awards for operational service at the Second Fleet event CONvergence, 6-9 JUL 2017.

44 individuals logged a total of more than five-hundred volunteer hours for this event. TRMN personnel staffed a hospitality party room, hosting thousands of convention goers over three nights and serving our world-famous Missile Pods, and also staffed two fully immersive Artemis Spaceship Bridge Simulators over four days. Set up and tear down and transport of materiel is a huge logistical task for this operation.

SMCPO Christopher BAYE, HMS Invincible
S2C Stephanie BERLIEN, HMS Invincible
